portray himself as a centrist because of the politics of massachusetts and talking about his bipartisan cooperation. but then last night he was asked who his favorite supreme court justice was and he said scalia and quickly pivoted. but that's not going to play that well in massachusetts. and he's obviously trying to portray her as an elite, harvard, very left wing kind of academic. as you said, i think it's looking very tough for him. >> wasn't elizabeth warren fantastic, steve rattner? >> she's a lovely person. >> you agree with me, right? >> that she's a fantastic person? >> yes, and a fantastic candidate. >> i think she's a fantastic candidate, an amazing woman, i think she's formidable and i disagree with her on about 75% of her views at least on how the economy and the financial industry should -- >> which is exactly why, of course, i like her. >> exactly, i like her a lot too. i want to be clear about that. >> the irony here is if you listen to her, draw her out, she is far to the left of where most voters are in that state. it's sort of interesting -- >> on what issue? i think she's to the

it's also a bipartisanship, it's cooperation, but from a different angle. >> hey, and chuck, curious about your take on the ohio poll, the quinnipiac poll. obviously, every poll is different. but you suspect things are tightening up there in ohio right now. romney has cut the lead in half, according to the quinnipiac poll. does he have enough time to overtake him? >> you know what's interesting here about -- the two? when you talk to private pollsters on both sides of the aisle, there is some conformity to where florida is, where virginia is, frankly to, where nevada is. there is no conformity between the two parties on three states. ohio, iowa, wisconsin. they have -- both parties have two different views of what turnout is going to be in those states, and they have two different views of -- particularly in iowa and ohio, of the early vote. and i think that's the issue. how much of the early vote is -- is it overweighted in some of these polls, is it underweighted? i can tell you this. the obama folks believe they're ahead in ohio to the point that it's very hard for romney to catch

in the election outside of obama's conduct that it's not a big-tent party that can accommodate real cooperation. >> i think he's going to be making that, mika. if he makes that argument to the wrong guy, again a guy that wins in janesville, wisconsin, a guy that wins a district that obama wins, that bill clinton wins, you know, they try to paint horns -- and this is always a mistake that both parties make -- you try to paint horns on somebody, and then you get a chance to see them for 90 minutes and you go wait a second. this guy's pretty persuasive, pretty smart. i don't think demonizing paul ryan's going to work. >> no, i don't. so let's dig into the content of this. spending plans are sure to come up in tonight's vice presidential debate. steve ratner has charts looking at president obama's spending plans, comparing with that of romney and ryan. steve. >> so romney and ryan do have somewhat different plans. we talked a lot in the debate last week about taxes. this is the spending side of the equation. to kind of lay out apropos conversations we had earlier in the show about what ryan and rom
